But it would be preferable for the promoter to tell MNCPPC to shove the No-Showplace Arena as a well attended gun show venue rather than the other way around. Greed is powerful.

Go to the show to stick it to the MNCPPC! Turn this into a demonstration of strength.

Kind of ironic coming from the very same County that owns and operates one of the nicer shotgun games facilities around. Guess it's only OK to have guns on County property when the money goes directly to their coffers.

State law prohibits private dealers from selling firearms to unlicensed buyers at gun shows. Individuals who have a license and buy guns at the shows cannot leave with the weapons, but must wait seven days for the guns to be transferred to their possession.

Really?

Apparently they want to make sure the equestrian center has less murders and non-fatal shootings than Baltimore has this weekend and not selling a legal product is the only way to do that :rolleyes:

Beretta isn't 'owned and operated' by the county. In fact, as a direct response to FSA13, they are leaving the state.

Mr. H, I was speaking of PG County Trap and Skeet which IS run by the county through the parks and recs dept and uses county employees to operate the facilities not Beretta. Unless of course there is something that I'm not aware of and Beretta in fact owns the facility.

Asinine.

And I can't wait to see the stupidity that our legislators come up with to "better regulate" and "ensure safety" at gun shows.

It was owned by beretta prior.. then donated/sold to mncppc.

Nah .

The County owns the land . Circa 1977 the facility was built from scratch by Winchester. The origional deal was Winchester built it, and had 10yr lease, after which all the improvements would belong to the County. Berretta was there subsequently as a concessionare to operate the facility.

Got any ideas? Silverado is always looking for places.

You can get a temporary MSP license to sell regulated firearms (handguns) at gun shows. There is a limit to the number of shows per year that can be done on the permit.

The Hollywood fire department may work. There should be plenty of space...just a little far south.

Minor quip with the above.

It is MNCPPC that owns and operates the PG Trap and Skeet, not the county. MNCPPC is not a county entity but a quasi-governmental multi-jurisdictional agency. No one is elected and no one is appointed to its board (I could be wrong on this part and may be corrected).

The employees are not county employees, but MNCPPC employees.

Nit picking I know, but still.....
